While my fellow New Yorkers were asleep my study abroad group took a nice trip to the Cathedral of Toldeo. What a beautiful scene is the first thing I can say. You do not have to be a religious person to engage in such detailed art. The group was able to sit in a private area where only the Bishops and priests are allowed into. As you can see in the picture above there is so much vibrant colors and details in the wall. I am not an art major so I am trying really hard to describe how beautiful the image was. Looking at how the wall depicted the stations of the cross really touched me. You can see how pale and blue Jesus Christ is to show his death. Everything in the cathedral was symbolic and protected.
My favorite painting in the Cathedral was the painting that depicted Hell, purgatory, and Heaven. I fell in love with the mural. You can see above how the people in hell were examples of the 7 deadly sins. Above hell was the simplicity and sincerity of asking God to allow them to enter heaven. Lastly, Heaven showed pure happiness without luxuries or materials.
